Doesn't do a lot for me, not that I am able to afford one anyway.
Generally the styling on the latest models are for the sake of it rather than for a reason, and I am a believer in the old saying form follows function.

The PHEV option for this (and the RRS) sound interesting, though disappointing that the towing weight drops to 2500Kg both with this power option (lower than the less powerful 2 liter Petrol and Diesel options)
Seems the Spare wheel also has to be sacrificed for the plug in hybrid option - not even having a space saver!

Dreary voice over. Gave up and I personally do not see it as a special off road vehicle anymore. More at home in Chelsea than Gods Own me thinks.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Stunning, especially in Byron Blue, but I just don’t see the fascination with touchscreens, it’s clumsy and unresponsive to use if the Velar is anything to go by. What’s wrong with buttons? 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

It's probably cheaper to use a touch screen now, no switches and extra wiring required and it looks more up to date anyway. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Touchscreen is seen as technology! Regardless of the blunders it has. If JLR did not revert to this they they would be slammed as being a DATED luxury off road manufacturer! MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

having seen the Velar screens I wonder how scratch resistant they are ?

I know most owners are buying them now for 3 years then changing them, but what about 2 owners or 3rd ? how resilient are these new generation LR past the 3/4/5 year mark ? if they are unreliable now when they are new or nearly new but covered under warranty.... how much will it cost for subsequent owners to get things fixed?

IMO the used car market is heading towards a total wipeout, owners will be keeping their current cars until they literally fall apart and new owners will just keep changing every 3 years on lease/PCP with their 3 year old Velar being parked up to rot somewhere as nobody will want the repair bills

Gave the vid til 2 min 44 sec and got fed up of the Welsh bloke using all these 'LR marketing speak' adjectives plucked from the depths of the Oxford dictionary, just to describe all the new blinged up bits.

Not for me, thank you........ even if I could.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Now I know why LR got rid of the Freelander. The RR is looking more & more like a proper car & they did not want any competition.

I measured my garage & can just fit it in but without roof racks. I don't see the point & stupidity of low profile wheels on a car I will take bush bashing!
